Recently, the Official Opposition in Montreal announced that it was working to rename a park in honour of Dr. Henry Morgentaler for his fight for the so-called “right to abortion.” A project has been submitted to this effect with the municipality and is currently under study.

We oppose this project for the following reasons:

1. Induced abortion is the killing of an unborn child.
2. Abortion is not health care, because its purpose is to destroy a living being; moreover, it is never technically necessary to directly kill an unborn child to save the life of the mother.
3. Henry Morgentaler campaigned for the legalization of abortion and committed, according to his own words, 100,000 abortions and trained a hundred doctors in this practice.
4. It was following the R. v. Morgentaler of 1988, where Dr. Morgentaler defended the so-called “right” to abortion, that abortion fell into a legal vacuum, thus remaining unpunished even if practised until the moment of birth.
5. The park targeted by the project already bears a name, de Beaujeu, in honour of Jacques-Philippe Saveuse de Beaujeu, Lord of Soulanges and New Longueuil, militia officer during the war of 1812, and Member of Parliament in 1814. It would be an affront
   

to his memory to remove his name from this park.
​
We therefore ask Mayor Valérie Plante and the municipal councillors to totally reject this project.
